I've got a Saviour

By Jessie Savard

I’ve got a Saviour:

One who will wipe your tears with His own hand;

One who will share forgiveness when forgiveness is not deserved;

One who will be the best Friend you’ve ever had;

One who will help you with the impossible tasks;

One who will give you life, and life to the fullest.

I’ve got a Lover:

One who will never leave you;

One who will provide for all your needs;

One who will give you comfort in times of sadness and uncertainty;

One who will make you feel like the most special person in the world;

One who will shatter your heart with His love.

I’ve got a Father:

One who will share with you all of His wisdom and knowledge;

One who will protect you from hurting yourself;

One who will listen to your every thought and never tire of it;

One who will hold you up when you are ready to fall;

One who will who will give you the affirmation and acceptance you desire.

I’ve got a Friend:

One who will make you laugh until your stomach hurts;

One who will bring you joy in the direst of circumstances;

One who will lead you on the path of humility;

One who will always put others before Himself;

One who will stick closer than a brother.

I’ve got a God:

One who will heal you of every ailment;

One who will bring you true freedom in every form;

One who will give you grace after grace;

One who will shepherd His flock with His life;

One who will show himself as King of the universe.

Be still

By Jessie Savard

Sitting on a summer swing,

Rocking in the gentle breeze.

Moist heat still lingers on the skin’s surface

As the freshness of night extinguishes the burning sun.

The melodious lapping of waves against the shore

Ease the mind into the tranquility of the evening to come

And allows the worries of the world to melt away

As the peace of God floods the mind with gratitude of what the Lord has done.

God whispers, “Be still, and know that I am God…”

Eyes remain closed, allowing the senses to become aware of the surroundings,

While still occupying a dream-like state.

The warm duvet assists with the sleepiness of the room,

As does the aroma of breakfast wafting in through the doorway.

The faint laughter of children mingles with the musical wind chimes.

The never ending to-do list seeps into the mind,

But quickly it vanishes as the peace of God descends from Heaven.

God whispers, “Be still, and know that I am God...”

Standing in the middle of a bustling street

In a thoroughly overpopulated city.

Giant buildings tower on every side,

As pedestrians hustle to their destinations in the harsh fall wind.

The scent of pollution fills the air

Mixed with fresh hot dogs from merry street vendors.

In the midst of everything stands a lone figure.

Despite the chaos, there is a tranquil calmness as the sun peeks out from behind a cloud.

God whispers, “Be still, and know that I am God…”
